a life-altering experience. After their journey a group of pilgrims
from Italy wrote: "When we completed the hike of the Camino de
Santiago de Compostela - Way of St. James, we were excited. But it
was nothing compared to what we felt when we ended our hike of the
Land of Jesus in the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem". The Golan Trail

The 1956 Suez War, fought between Egypt and the improbable
coalition of Britain, France, and Israel, was a key point in the
history of the Middle East and the Arab-Israeli conflict. A
blitzkrieg-style Israeli victory proved that Israel's victory in
the 1948 war was not an accident to be swiftly fixed by Arab
armies, and gave the country eleven years of relative peace until
the next major conflict. An Anglo-French blunder marked the decline
of British and French influence in the Middle East, to be replaced
by Soviet and US involvement. Egyptian defiance of the great powers
of the past marked the high point of Arab nationalism. Despite the
importance of the Suez conflict, almost no comprehensive military
history of it exists. This book changes this by presenting a clear,
comprehensive narrative of the conflict with a special emphasis on
the military decisions and the short- and long-term results of the
conflict, both tactical and strategic, military and political.
